During an interview with Chuck Todd on Meet The Press, Dr. Anthony Fauci tried to push the envelope by saying Americans will have to live with wearing masks:

“You know, that’s quite possible, seasonal masks. I think people have gotten used to the fact that wearing masks, clearly if you look at the data, diminishes respiratory diseases. You know we’ve had practically a non-existent flu season this year, merely because people were doing the kind of public health things that were directed predominantly against COVID-19. The Australians during their winter, same thing they had almost no flu largely due to the things including mask-wearing. So it is conceivable that as we go on a year or two or more from now, that during certain seasonal periods when you have respiratory-borne viruses like the flu, people might actually elect to wear masks to diminish the likelihood that you’ll be spreading these respiratory-borne diseases.”

He doesn’t know Americans!

We’d like to know what you think about what Dr. Fauci said. Should Americans wear masks seasonally?
